Biden urges Air Force cadets to shape 'a new world order'

While United States President Barack Obama used an address at West Point Military Academy this week to tout the impeding end to the Afghan War, his second in command had a much different message while giving remarks to Air Force Academy cadets.

Vice President Joe Biden is now getting attention over the
phrasing he used during Wednesday’s graduation ceremony at the
military college in Colorado Springs, Colorado that contrasted
sharply with the message the commander-in-chief extended at an
address that morning at West Point.

During Mr. Obama’s remarks, the president told new military grads that
they were likely to be the first in over a decade to not worry
about being deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq. With combat
operations there all but expired, American foreign policy should
begin to rely on influencing the world not with the barrel of a
gun, the president said, but by leading with examples of
diplomacy.

Biden, however, had a different message to extend.

"I believe we and mainly you have an incredible opportunity
to lead in shaping a new world order for the twenty-first century
in a way consistent with American interests and common
interests,” Vice Pres. Biden said to the 995 members of the
class of 2014, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported this week.

"There was an overwhelming desire of our grandparents and my
parent's generation to bring home every single one of the 12
million forces stationed in Europe and Asia," he said.
"They knew they had to lay a foundation for a new world
order, an order that brought the longest period of sustained and
peace in Europe and Asia.”

The vice president’s remarks are expected to generate controversy
among skeptics who associated the phrase “new world
order” with the theory that a secret global power elite is
plotting a system of international rule to take over the world.

Indeed, Biden made similar comments last year and quickly caught
the attention of anti-globalists as a result.

“The affirmative task before us is to create a new world
order because the global order is changing again,” Biden
said at a conference in Washington, DC last June.

At the time, the website Infowars.com pounced upon the vice
president’s remarks and said Biden was “adding yet another
admission to an already long list of documented globalist
bragging of plans for a centralized, one-world global
government.”

According to The New American, Biden brought up the notion
of a new world order long before that, though. The website
reported last year that in 1992, Biden wrote a Wall Street
Journal op-ed in which he called for a “permanent commitment
of forces for use by the Security Council” of the United
Nations.
